As with all high rolls, this needs to be mentioned. Kilroy got a base roll of 95, and he gets a +10 to all archery rolls because of his skill. I think that added a nice end to this battle. I leveled his archery after that, he's almost as skilled as Mark now.
You shout at Max, “Go for the knees, Max! Go for the knees!”
Max charges back toward the ogre, stabbing it behind the knees while laughing maniacally, causing the beast to collapse face first into the ground as it loses its ability to stand. He jumps back before it manages to swing its fist at him.
Asno runs up to the ogre, her hand suddenly engulfing itself in flames. She grabs the ogre by its fat, burning it severely.
Mark takes aim at the ogre, hitting it in the shoulder. The ogre groans as it pulls the arrow out of its body.
You suddenly find yourself incredibly focused on your target. All you can see is the ogre thrashing around on the ground in front of you, and the bow in your hand, all sounds muted except for your heartbeat. You draw two arrows from your quiver, holding both in your bow. You take aim at the ogre, time seemingly slowed, releasing them both, one hitting the ogre in the eye, the other hitting it in the heart. You see the ogre collapse, and look around to notice everyone looking at you in awe. You then black out for a few moments before realizing what just happened, with everyone around you congratulating you. You manage to pick both arrows out of the corpse.
(Your archery skill has increased. You now roll between 10-100 instead of 1-100 in archery based rolls, in addition to your +10 bonus.)You hear two quick explosions from the southern part of the cave, your tripwire must have been triggered. What would you like to
do?
